    Yes of course.

  • what languages do yo speak?

    Alo. Hallo. Hello. Sherlock is an international team of search marketing professionals. We can assist for any language in any region in the world.

  • What makes your agency different from others?

    Technical and Analytical Digital Marketing combined with Sales and Business Development. Aimed at high quality content, optimised for attracting search engine traffic, both organic and paid. The right message at the right time at the right channel at the right audience. We can teach you how it’s done and can offer additional support on your projects.

  • Is SEO a one-time job?

    SEO is an ongoing process that requires consistent effort and regular updates to maintain and improve your website’s ranking.

  • Can you guarantee #1 rankings?

    No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on search engines. SEO involves several factors, including competition and search algorithms, which are constantly evolving and thus changing. We need to acknowledge the algorithms and craft our digital presence accordingly. If you are an Ecommerce brand it’s totally different than a local business.

  • Is SEO all about Keyword Stuffing and Link Building?

    “Just like the wrong type of Linkbuilding, Keyword Stuffing is a black hat SEO tactic that can harm your website’s rankings. It may be easy to think, but SEO is not about the total word count or ‘authority score’. Be aware there are always scammers trying to make you belief they have the holy grail of SEO. There are many SEO myths and misconceptions. Build a quality website with quality content that is relevant to the user’s search intent and link organically in, out and to your website. Publish, promote and optimize content on a regular basis. SEO is not ‘cheap’ and it will return, but you might need to invest in many fields, remember that the more aligned all your marketing channels are on search the more return you will yield. Sorry, what was your question again? 🤪

  • is Paid search better than organic search?

    “Paid search can be effective for short-term goals, but organic search can bring in long-term, sustainable traffic. A combination of both can be beneficial for your business.”

  • What is white, black hat and money hat SEO?

    “For those who do or do not follow the Google Guidelines, the distinction between white and black hat SEO exists. We see ourselves as Money Hat SEO, our goal is to help our clients make money by implementing white hat SEO with an understanding of Black Hat SEO. It’s not grey, it’s an understanding of what optimisations you need to make, when and where.”

  • Is SEO dead?

    “SEO is not dead. It may have never existed. SEO is constantly evolving with the everchanging search algorithms. An SEO reverse engineers the algorithms to reap the most benefit from them.”

  • Do you use AI?

    “AI is everywhere, also in SEO. Our team always tests the latest technology to provide you with the most accurate and effective solutions for your digital marketing needs. We combine AI with our human creativity to ensure a high quality and personalized output. Rest assured that our services are designed to meet the highest standards, and exceed your expectations.”
